Shetland | |
Shetland is an archipelago off the northeast coast of mainland Scotland. The islands lie to the northeast of Orkney and form part of the division between the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the North Sea to the east. The landscape and the light found in Shetland have been an inspiration to many artists in the fields of paintings, drawing and sculpting, both local and from elsewhere. Nature & wildlife on Shetland is rich and diverse.Shetland is the site of one of the largest bird colonies in the North Atlantic, home to more than one million birds. |

Hand-knitting has been a part of Shetland tradtion for centuries. Women knitted as they walked to work on the croft and their meagre income from producing high-quality knitwear, supplemented the little they earned from crofting.
Today, few women knit the beautiful, tradtional patterns by hand. Mostly knitwear is produced on domestic knitting machines or in factories. It is a dying craft as fewer and fewer women are prepared to spend the one hundred hours needed to produce just one sweater. |
